Default 5 Worst Units Challenge (One for each level)

Step 1: We decide on the worst 5 units in the game (one for each level 1 to 5)
Step 2: We challenge people to beat the game exclusively using those units, on impossible difficulty.

My picks:

1. Peasant (Maybe venomous spiders?)
2. Miner
3. Dwarf
4. Ent
5. Ancient Ent

Maybe it's time for you to move on to another game, until the next expansion comes out?

I would actually say the worst pick for level 5 are giants, but not in the context of an impossible challenge. Actually, for me, this might just be the worst unit in the game period. Poor fellas.

Blasphemy! (Actually I just came back to AP after playing other things for like 9 months).

Giants may be worse than Ancient Ents. I've honestly only used either of them sparingly.

And peasants are pretty darn bad. Attack bonus' aren't going to help them deal with frailty issues and the inability to get to important targets when you need them to. What would you consider a worse level 1 unit? Devilfish Maybe?

Devilfish is indeed not a good unit... it has the illusion of being a good choice for a new player, having more speed and offensive power, and is awarded after completing a quest, giving the impression that you are supposed to buy them.

I did that in my first game (Paladin)... the amount of dead fish, gold spent and traveling time wasted... >_<

Ents and Ancient Ents have shitty movement and have that whole fire weakness thing but they do a lot of damage in both long range and close combat and have great defense. If they had good movement, they would be one of the best level 5 units. same with regular ents. the worst level 5 unit is definitely an ogre. they are just way to fragile. for level 4 units i suggest alchemist or demoness's. in the original, you could get angas ruby and demoness's were ok but they just get killed so easially (besides when being attacked by male humanoids). Alchemist just suck all around. for the leadership cost, they do no damage, have no defense, and just blow ass. for level 3 units, either dwarves or bears. Bears would probably be worse though. for level 2 units, robbers are always shitty to have. i suggest one of the spiders for level 1 creatures

Alchemists are no retaliation units that can hit multiple stacks at a time, and have high chances of doing aftereffect damage to those stacks. You give them the little Gift Bag item, and they are like little dragons.

Demoness' actually might be worse than Ents, actually. They have an impressive array of abilities, but most level 4's are pretty good, so I'm not sure.

Ogres might be the worst level 5, assuming you don't have an army that knows how to combo with them. (Similar to Demoness).

i think in comparsion leadership to damage
peasants scored relatively high(at least used to be the best leadership damage factor) in legend

dunno if this is changed in kb:ap



a very epic set up would be

royal thorn/ents/ancient ents/thorn warriors/thorn shooters

this setup would be a pain in the ass

no ressucrection possible(at least not the easy way)

only time back would work

and think again of all the fire damage it takes hahah

anyone beating the game with this setup is epic

doing this without losses is impossible i would say :p

yea but the undead would be screwed against this army. necromancer cant ressurect any of them and bone dragons would barely do any damage since they all have such high resistance to poisen. Dragons would tear this army a new asshole but thats where spells like death star come in. Thier fire weakness is critical but each one of those units do fantastic damage for thier leadership and have pretty danm good defense. The royal thorns can summon thorns to soak up some damage and gain rage while the ents, ancient ents, and thorn shooters would decimate the enemy army. Besides, you could get that scroll from elon which gives a huge bonus to all thorns and ents. That would actually be a pretty good army if used right. Fighting any dragons would be a real pain in the ass though
